Went fishing this weekend and had a ton of live bait. Everything was working as expected until it wasnt....the pump stopped running, unknown to me, and all my bait died.
The boat is a 2000 306, with a rule 700 gph livewell...all original as far as I can tell.
After trying to diagnose on the water, I noticed that my switch was on, and lit, as indicated by the little green backlight at the switch, but the pump was not running. Back at the dock while cleaning the boat, I heard the pump running and looked in the livewell and saw that in fact, it was working normally, however the switch at the helm was TURNED OFF! The green backlight on the switch was actually lit up though with the switch turned off.
I have no idea what is going here...sounds electrical, but not sure where to start and if anyone has had a similar experience. Any help would be appreciated!
